YOU CAN GROW C. & J. LILY-CANNAS FROM SEED 



The accompan>-ing illustration shows the marvelous improvement 

 which has been- made in Cannas. The small flower-head was taken 

 from a plant of the original native Canna and the large head from one 

 of our latest seedlings. The flowers of the latter are immense, the 

 individual petals measuring over 3 inches across. It is flowers such as 

 these that may be looked for from the C. & J. Extra- Choice New 

 Pedigree Canna Seed which we offer below. 



How to Grow Lily-Cannas from 

 C. & J. Seed 



A thing you need to know about Canna seeds is that they have hard 

 shells and are, therefore, very slow to germinate unless you take the 

 precaution to file or cut a bit of this away. 



With small, hard seeds this is difficult, therefore, for the convenience 

 of our customers we have already prepared in this way all the named 

 varieties of seeds offered on this page. A packet contains about 20 

 seeds; an ounce, 75 to 100 seeds. 



When ready to plant, soak seeds in warm water for half a day or 

 more, and then plant indoors, about i inch deep in a moist, sandy soil. 

 Vou should get about sixty per cent to germinate. Transplant to 18 

 inches apart as soon as the ground is warm — not before. 

 C. &. J. seeds are saved from picked flowers only and cannot be 

 duplicated anywhere 



The following list of named kinds have been picked from named 

 Cannas, but. as thej- are not segregated, the seeds cannot all be expected 

 to come true to name; but they will in every case produce beautiful 

 blooms.
